(I just realised this: but for future posts, please make sure to tag it clearly as Silksong related)

Will do, but since Silksong just came out I think it's pretty expected that every post for at least a month will be silksong related

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Yes, probably, but still. Spoilers are annoying and people will be playing the game at their own pace.

Then just buy more copies of the game.

Wait, I haven't picked it up yet. Microtransactions?

No. My understanding is that the in-game currency is both harder to come by and more important. You need it for stuff like saving at a bench.

[–] Godort@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Correct. But not most benches. Enemies drop what is effectively 2 types of currency. One is used to replenish your consumable tools, and the other is used for shops. Notably, not every enemy drops the shop currency so it's harder to get than Geo was in Hollow Knight.

Very minor spoilerThere is a small area called Pilgrim's Rest which contains a bench and a shop. To enter this area, you need to input 30 Rosaries(the shop currency) any time you want access.

[–] Godort@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 days ago

I need you to know that you're a hero

[–] Hazzard@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago

Ah, thank you. I never went back after the door re-locked the first time, will do that.
